More than 60 percent of Cincinnati-area entrepreneurs said they will see increased net profits in 2013 and half said they expect to hire more part-time employees, according to a new survey from the Entrepreneurs’ Organization.

In addition, the survey found that 41 percent of local entrepreneurs expect to hire more full-timers.

The Entrepreneurs’ Organization is a global network of more than 8,000 business owners in 40 countries. Membership in one of the organization’s 120 chapters is by invitation only.

According to the survey, the expectations of entrepreneurs in Cincinnati are similar to global results, which show 59 percent of entrepreneurs expect to increase net profits, 56 percent plan to add more full-time workers and 62 percent said they’ll hire more part-time workers.

The survey of Cincinnati entrepreneurs included 43 Cincinnati-area companies with at least $1 million in annual revenue.

“The results from the survey underscores that Cincinnati businesses are thriving despite the current economic climate,” EO Cincinnati Chapter President Mark Schmidt said in a news release. “We expect our businesses to continue growing, and we expect the market to rebound in a positive way.”
